xrdp doesn't work on Mint 19

Hi,
After installing Tara (Mate Desktop) from scratch I tried to get xrdp working, but without success.
Installing (apt install xrdp) worked, the xrdp service is up an running, but connecting via rdp leads to an empty window. What's missing?
Best wishes
Paul

I was having the exact same problem.
When an xrdp connection initiates, it generates a file in your home directory named, for example: .xorgxrdp.XXXX.log, where XXXX is a number.
The specific error line was: (EE) Unable to locate/open config file: "xrdp/xorg.conf"
So, the solution was to install the package xorgxrdp from apt, i.e. "sudo apt install xorgxrdp"
Took me a long time to figure this out. Hope it works for you.

Hi,
Thanks, after installing xorgxrdp I was able to connect to mate desktop.
BUT A connection could only be enabled if no one is connected on the host. If you disconnect (no logoff) your xrdp session you can't connect to the Desktop on the host again (Could not acquire name on session bus). It seems that only one session can be active.
After reconnecting to the xrdp session and logging out, the taskbar on the host was missing. I had to restart the session (alt+ctrl+backspace).
While xrdp worked very well on Mint 18, it doesn't work well Mint 19. That's a drawback of Mint 19 (I belive it's rather Ubuntu than Mint who's to blame).
Best wishes
Paul
PS: Just found out: To have more than one Mate session active you have to create a new .xsession file.
Code: Select all
echo env -u SESSION_MANAGER -u DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS mate-session>~/.xsession

Glad things are working better for you now! Linux is great, but at times it forces you to dig deep into problems...

Hi. I followed the instructions to here, also using xfce. When I rdp into the VM, I sign in, and get a black screen.

It works for me.
I tried it on Cinnamon first but it did not work.
It works perfectly on Xfce.
Thanks.

I did all this and when I connect on local or remote I get a black screen for 2-3 seconds and the app closes.

Well FYI: If you have e.g. cinnamon you need to run
echo env -u SESSION_MANAGER -u DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS cinnamon-session>~/.xsession
instead of
echo env -u SESSION_MANAGER -u DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS xfce4-session>~/.xsession
